SHOCKING NEWS;Magpies rejected Newcastle United terms and conditions insisted leaving due to
Newcastle United are poised to open a fresh round of talks with Alexander Isak over an extended contract as head coach Eddie Howe is desperate to see the St James’ Park fan favourite put pen-to-paper before the winter transfer window opens at the turn of the year, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
The Magpies are on course to be without the striker until after the international break due to nursing a broken toe, having sustained the injury during the comeback win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last month, meaning he will not be involved in the Premier League clash with Everton on Saturday.
But Isak has made a significant impact since joining Newcastle in a club-record move worth £63million from Real Sociedad in August 2022, and plans are being put in place behind the scenes to tempt him into committing his long-term future to the Tyneside giants instead of seeking a fresh challenge.
Magpies Desperate to Hand Isak Fresh Terms
Newcastle are set to prioritise attempting to persuade Isak to sign a new contract in the coming weeks, according to GMS sources, as there are fears that the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea will reignite their interest in acquiring his services if they are unable to reach an agreement over personal terms.
The Magpies are in a strong negotiating position if any of their Premier League rivals test their resolve with a formal offer when the transfer window reopens as the Sweden international still has just shy of four years remaining on his £120,000-per-week deal, but they want to reward him for his prolific performances since his arrival.
GMS sources have been informed that Newcastle are not concerned that Isak’s commitment is wavering after being pinpointed as a potential recruit by admirers during the summer, but they would love him to reaffirm his plans to remain in his current surroundings ahead of suitors potentially lodging a bid in 2025.
